“Thank you to the entire Illinois delegation for their support and advice and to all of my new colleagues in Congress, I look forward to working with all of them.
“Finally, thank you to my family. My wife, Kristen, and our three boys, McKay, Teddy, and Luke, for being by my side every step of the way on my journey to Congress. I would not be here if it wasn’t for all of your love and support.
